The Melbourne Cup Betting Game (Final Totals Posted)

Politeness is my best chance today...

[BratPack]

Half way home, Rusty leads.....just. 6th race offers the best chance to get some funds with only 8 runners

[Nige]

Politeness just stuck into 3rd.  ;D

23. TRES BLUE

4yo, bay horse, 51kg

Trainer; Gai Waterhouse

Jockey: Tommy Berry

Odds: $19

Barrier: 20

Prizemoney: $401,608

10 starts 4-2-1

WHY HE CAN WIN: Quite a few recent spruiks for Gai Waterhouse's new addition to the stable. The French galloper has won his past two at Deauville, including the Prix Deauville (2500m) in August. Clearly an up-and-coming horse who could put in big first run for the stable as Fiorente did in the Cup last year.

23. Tres Blue (20) $26 51kg


Gai Waterhouse has claimed Tres Blue is the horse to beat this year. Time and time again Gai makes bold statements which bite her in the bum, but she thinks Tres blue is better then her star 2012 place getting runner Fiorente.
With such a light weight, this colt must be seriously respected, if he can manage to sustain the tempo and pressure, he with be very hard to catch, or be a chance to run them down if it's ran at a crawl.

Tommy Berry will ride him similar to the way Shamus Award was ridden in the Cox Plate by C.Schofield, Reports are he is getting very strong and they feel he is in his prime, loves a wet track, so if the cup day has rain BACK HIM, I think he is a big chance regardless of weather, barrier a problem.

The Sweep is over, the game continues. Can Rusty hang on? Will Q or TDog get over the top? Will there be a late swooper?

Will GoLions ever get off zero?  :P

Stay tuned
